    Sensitivity Analysis Contact Reliability of VH-CATT Cylindrical Gear and Its Reliability with Material Strength Degradation

    VH-CATT cylindrical gear is a new transmission mechanism. In order to study the influence of design parameters and material strength degradation of the VH-CATT cylindrical gear on its transmission reliability. The Kriging surrogate model based on improved quantum particle swarm optimization (QPSO) algorithm was used to establish the limit state equation of contact stress for the VH-CATT cylindrical gear based on the stress-strength interference theory. The state equation of contact stress of the VH-CATT cylindrical gear was obtained with higher precision. Also, the strength degradation model with gamma distribution was established by using the P-S-N curve to estimate the parameters of the strength degradation model with gamma distribution. The reliability sensitivity of the VH-CATT cylindrical gear was analyzed by improved first order second moment method (AFOSM) based on the limit state equation of contact stress of the VH-CATT cylindrical gear, the reliability of gear considering strength degradation was studied by using the improved first order second moment method (AFOSM). The analysis results show that the failure rate decreases with the increase of pressure Angle, tooth width, modulus and tooth radius. The failure rate increases with increasing torque. Strength degradation has a certain influence on the reliability of gear and opinion. And the reliability of the gear is lower than that of the opinion, Strength degradation has a greater influence on the failure probability of gear, at the same time, the reliability of the gear pair decreases with the strength degradation. After 15000 hours of operation, the reliability of the gear pair is only 0.63155.

    Optimizing FPGA-Based Convolutional Neural Network Performance

    In deep learning, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are a class of artificial neural networks (ANNs), most commonly applied to analyze visual imagery. They are also known as Shift-Invariant or Space-Invariant Artificial Neural Networks (SIANNs), based on the shared-weight architecture of the convolution kernels or filters that slide along input features and provide translation-equivariant responses known as feature maps. Recently, various architectures for CNN based on FPGA platform have been proposed because it has the advantages of high performance and fast development cycle. However, some key issues including how to optimize the performance of CNN layers with different structures, high-performance heterogeneous accelerator design, and how to reduce the neural network framework integration overhead need to be improved. To overcome and improve these problems, we propose dynamic cycle pipeline tiling, data layout optimization, and a pipelined software and hardware (SW–HW)-integrated architecture with flexibility and integration. Some benchmarks have been tested and implemented on the FPGA board for the proposed architecture. The proposed dynamic tiling and data layout transformation improved by 2.3 times in the performance. Moreover, with two-level pipelining, we achieve up to five times speedup and the proposed system is 3.8 times more energy-efficient than the GPU.

    CLASSIFICATION OF LARGE MICROARRAY DATASETS USING FAST RANDOM FOREST CONSTRUCTION

    Random forest is an ensemble classification algorithm. It performs well when most predictive variables are noisy and can be used when the number of variables is much larger than the number of observations. The use of bootstrap samples and restricted subsets of attributes makes it more powerful than simple ensembles of trees. The main advantage of a random forest classifier is its explanatory power: it measures variable importance or impact of each factor on a predicted class label. These characteristics make the algorithm ideal for microarray data. It was shown to build models with high accuracy when tested on high-dimensional microarray datasets. Current implementations of random forest in the machine learning and statistics community, however, limit its usability for mining over large datasets, as they require that the entire dataset remains permanently in memory. We propose a new framework, an optimized implementation of a random forest classifier, which addresses specific properties of microarray data, takes computational complexity of a decision tree algorithm into consideration, and shows excellent computing performance while preserving predictive accuracy. The implementation is based on reducing overlapping computations and eliminating dependency on the size of main memory. The implementation's excellent computational performance makes the algorithm useful for interactive data analyses and data mining.

    Optimization and Simulation for Equipment Maintenance Policy of Industrial Enterprise

    When the risk control requirements incur significant increases in cost for overhauls, it's a necessity to update the current system to achieve risk control objectives. This article combines overhaul and system update together and considers a combinatorial optimization problem. A combinatorial optimization model is then established. The objective of the model is to find the appropriate time for system update as well as to optimize overhaul cycles for new and old equipments. Finally, the Monte Carlo method is used to simulate the model. Simulation results show that the combinatorial optimization model is effective.
